t with anxiety. “Skye is missing.”
“What?” Ryder jumped up from the water, not bothering with modesty as he stepped onto the stone tiles. “What do you mean missing?
Garrett and Xavier also moved to the edge of the pool, concrm evident on their faces.
“She went to the bathroom about an hour ago,” Lydia explained, her words tumbling out. “When she didn’t come back, I checked everywhere. The hathroomy changing rooms, even the lobby. I tried mind–linking her multiple times but got nothing. I thought maybe she came here to find you, but………
1 immediately attempted to mind–link with Skye. Skye? Skye, can you hear me? Nothing but silence answered me.
“It must be Maya” Lydia continued, anger flashing in her eyes. “She and her friends were harassing as at the women s spring. Skye defended me and threw them out. Maya threatened that it wasn’t over.”
I scanned the spring, noticing Leon and Ethan were no longer present. “Ryder, get dressed, We’re going to find her
I quickly pulled on my clothes and rushed outside. Leon and Ethan were just climbing into their SUV when I called out to them.
Leon turned, surprise flickering across his face before his expression hardened. “What do you want?” he asked coldly,
I strode forward and grabbed his collar, pushing him against the vehicle. “Where’s Maya?”
Leon shoved me back, his eyes flashing with anger. “What the hell is wrong with you? Don’t you have enough women in your own pack? Why do you always go after women from mine?”
“Skye is missing.” I snarled. “And I think your little friend Maya had something to do with
Ethan stepped between us, his face serious. “Missing? What are you talking about?”
By now, Ryder, Garrett, and Xavier had joined us outside, forming a protective semicircle behind me.
Leon’s expression shifted slightly. He pulled out his phone and made a call “Maya, come to the parking lot. Now,”
Within minutes,
, Maya appeared, her wet h
hair suggesting she’d just left the hot springs. Her confidence wavered when she saw the assembled group.
“What did you do to Skye?” Leon demanded. “Didn’t I tell you to stop causing trouble? What did you promise me yesterday?”
Maya shifted uncomfortably, “I just said a few words to her. She nearly choked my friend to death! We’re even now”
“Did you take her?” I asked, stepping forward, “Where is she?”
Confusion crossed Maya’s face. Take her? Why would I do that? She’s the one who kicked us out of the springs.
Ethan crossed his arms. “Maya, Skye j missing. Are you absolutely sure you had nothing to do with it?”
